Would be great if you stayed here after a night out. The place was in a central location, staff were great, both Khrish and Chris , it was very clean in the room and bathroom Breakfast was ok. (one choice of time on Sunday 8:30 or 8:30, instant coffee and fry up) The reason for the low mark is:- I stayed there for somewhere to sleep but the single mattress was very poor quality so I had to sleep on the pillow also because it was a pub there were people outside my window talking laughing etc then management clearing up till 1am. Also a large Aircon or heating unit on the roof outside, rumbled on and off thoughout the night

I stayed in room 1: it is very compact but the bed was very comfortable and the room was just the right temperature. There was noise from a boiler I think but after a short while, I didn't notice it. The Full English breakfast was delicious. A great value place to stay!

This property should be struck from any list that advertises stays. The room was no bigger than a broom cupboard and when we went to shower we discovered that there was no hot water. We obviously complained only to be told that they were having a new boiler installed and dint know when there would be any hot water. This had obviously been preplaned so any guests that were booked in should have been warned about this. We cancelled our booking and found other accommodation. This was without doubt the worst accommodation that we have ever come accross. AVOID

Just reopening with newly refreshed public areas.
Pub with rooms is under new ownership who are refurbishing so bar etc were all closed when I was there. Room is basic , clean but very tired and needs a refresh relative to this century. Apparently will not do food when open and breakfast unusually is at 8.30 am. I wish good luck to new managers and hope they quickly start work on everything else.

Really good value for money, Chris was great and really helpful, the pub was nice and cosy and the room was perfect for what we wanted, which was somewhere to sleep and shower as we had plans for the weekend, would definitely stay there again

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were helpful, but it was not until I had parked someway away in a long stay car park did I find out there was parking accessed from the road behind. By then it was too late to move the car. I was asked what breakfast I wanted and spot on time it was at my table and very good it was. The noise from the pub could be heard in the room until mid-night when they closed up. On the day I was there they were not doing meals in the evening.
